Selected black Neocaridina Blue Dream OE

Since the orange eyes of our Neocaridina Blue Dream OE/Blue Demon line were crossed with black Neocaridina, our blue line occasionally produces black animals that we then select out. These animals are offered here.

The animals are predominantly black, some have blue spots. They are ideal for selecting a black or blue OE / Demon strain.

Size available for sale: Animals available for sale have a minimum size of 1 cm, i.e. shortly before sexual maturity.

General information on keeping and breeding: Like all dwarf shrimps of the genus Neocaridina, these animals are very adaptable and can usually be kept in tap water (18 - 26 °C) without any problems. In our facility, the tap water has the following values: pH 7.6, gH 10; kH 9, conductivity 600uS, 22 °C. The animals feed on conventional fish food, algae growth and dead animal and plant material. This means that they are ideal at using up leftovers and contribute to the biological balance in the aquarium. Keeping them with small and medium-sized aquarium fish can work, but it is recommended to provide sufficient hiding places such as moss and roots. Under optimal conditions, animals quickly grow into lively colonies.
